Heading off to Minnesota via Chicago on this windy day (how appropriate) so I’ll check in when I arrive later this afternoon with some practice news.

Before I go, two quick items:

1. Mats Zuccarello is scheduled to undergo surgery today after fracturing his left wrist in Friday night’s 4-1 loss to the Sabres. He is out indefinitely.
2. Chris Kreider won’t be joining the Rangers in the regular season, if my calculations are correct. Top-seeded Boston College advanced to the Frozen Four with a 4-0 win over Minnesota-Duluth Sunday night in the Northeast regional final. The junior left wing did not figure in the scoring after notching both goals in a 2-0 win over Air Force on Saturday for the top-seeded Eagles. The Frozen Four is April 5-7 in Tampa, Fla. Rangers GM Glen Sather has indicated the Rangers would like to sign Kreider once his college season concludes. The Rangers’ final regular-season game is April 7 hosting the Capitals.
